VDHG is a complete investment portfolio in a single trade, holding Australian shares, international shares (hedged and unhedged), emerging markets, and a small allocation to bonds. The 90/10 split (90% shares, 10% bonds) targets long-term growth investors. The simplicity is its main feature: one purchase achieves broad diversification across multiple asset classes. The downside is that you pay an all-in fee of 0.27% which is higher than building the same portfolio yourself using individual ETFs, and VDHG invests through underlying unlisted funds, which can create higher taxable distributions than expected. VDHG's longer-term returns are shown in the performance section below. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.
Based on publicly available fund data. Not a recommendation to buy or sell.
